:05:56. > :06:01.already tweeted that the US was locked and loaded, if North Korea

:06:51. > :06:53.This man will not get away with what he's doing, believe
:06:54. > :07:01.And if he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat, which,

:07:40. > :07:41.the first step away from that dangerous threshold should
:07:42. > :07:47.be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter.
:07:48. > :07:51.Amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it's emerged the Trump
:07:52. > :07:53.administration has been secretly talking to North Korea
:07:54. > :07:58.about Americans in prison there, and deteriorating relations.
:07:59. > :08:02.The news came as America's Defence Secretary emphasised diplomacy.
:08:03. > :08:06.You can see the American effort is diplomatically led,
:08:07. > :08:11.it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results.
:08:12. > :08:14.And I want to stay right there, right now.
:08:15. > :08:17.The tragedy of war is well enough known.
:08:18. > :08:19.It doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact
:08:20. > :08:25.Holiday-makers on Guam, the island North Korea has
:08:26. > :08:29.threatened with missiles, still seem unfazed.
:08:30. > :08:35.It would take just 14 minutes for a North Korean missile to reach them.

:08:38. > :08:39.a fact sheet from the Guam government, warning not
:08:40. > :08:50.Nick, is there a strategy underpinning President Trump's tough
:08:51. > :08:54.rhetoric? I think this week we've seen a pattern. I'm not sure you can
:08:55. > :09:00.describe it as a deliberate strategy. It's this. You get these
:09:01. > :09:05.incendiary warnings from Donald Trump, using alliterative language.
:09:06. > :09:09.This that has been improvisational at times and has taken his A by
:09:10. > :09:14.surprise at times. From other members of this administration you
:09:15. > :09:20.have seen more measured language, language that focuses on diplomacy.
:09:21. > :09:25.It's worth pointing out at this very moment Donald Trump is meeting his
:09:26. > :09:28.top two diplomats, his US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and his UN
:09:29. > :09:32.ambassador Nikki Haley. There's been an element of good cop, bad cop.
:09:33. > :09:36.It's also reminded some people of what President Richard Nixon used to
:09:37. > :09:41.call the madman theory. New plant in the mind of your adversary the
:09:42. > :09:45.notion that you are unpredictable, that you are volatile, that you are
:09:46. > :09:49.willing to do anything, that you are willing to take the military option,
:09:50. > :09:53.in order to frighten them in order to make them back down. Now, there
:09:54. > :09:58.are some mainstream Republicans who think that makes sense. But there
:09:59. > :10:01.are others who think that is very dangerous, because one
:10:02. > :10:07.miscalculation, one mistake, one act of misplaced bravado, and you could
:10:08. > :10:10.have a war. Nick Bryant, thank you, at the White House.
:10:11. > :10:12.The steel company Tata has been given the go-ahead
:10:13. > :10:15.to separate its UK pension scheme from the rest of the business,
:10:16. > :10:17.which will help tens of thousands of the firm's workers.
:10:18. > :10:19.Staff voted earlier this year to accept less generous pensions,
:10:20. > :10:22.in return for investment to secure jobs.
:10:23. > :10:25.The move is expected to clear the way for a possible merger
:10:26. > :10:31.Our correspondent Wyre Davies reports now from Port Talbot.
:10:32. > :10:34.Tata Steel had warned for years that its UK business was under
:10:35. > :10:39.threat and it wanted to radically reduce pension benefits to workers
:10:40. > :10:43.or face the prospect of having to close it Port Talbot plant.
:10:44. > :10:46.For months, employees who stood to lose thousands of pounds
:10:47. > :10:48.from their retirement plans, have been meeting to
:10:49. > :10:54.All of a sudden you're coming to the end of your working life,
:10:55. > :10:57.you have two years left and you have to work another seven years
:10:58. > :10:59.in order to get what you've worked your entire life
:11:00. > :11:03.for without any penalties, and they feel cheated.
:11:04. > :11:10.You think you're going to be secure when you're 60, 65,
:11:11. > :11:13.and now they've taken that away from you.
:11:14. > :11:16.The ?15 billion British Steel pension scheme is one
:11:17. > :11:23.Around 130,000 members will be affected and the new plan would see
:11:24. > :11:25.current owners Tata paying ?550 million into the
:11:26. > :11:34.The scheme will also get a stake of one third of Tata's UK business
:11:35. > :11:42.Workers who sign up to today's proposal will have
:11:43. > :11:47.Other options include transferring into a personal pension scheme.
:11:48. > :11:50.Or they can stay with the old British Steel
:11:51. > :11:53.scheme, which is backed by the Pension Protection Fund,
:11:54. > :11:56.and that's the really controversial part, because that's normally only
:11:57. > :12:00.available to companies that have gone out of business.
:12:01. > :12:03.The Pension Protection Fund is there to protect the members,
:12:04. > :12:06.not the companies themselves, so I think the issue that everyone
:12:07. > :12:11.has is why should they be allowed to join the PPF,
:12:12. > :12:15.because the liability is with Tata Steel worldwide,
:12:16. > :12:18.which has plenty of cash, as we know.
:12:19. > :12:21.Although this agreement does protect workers' pension plans,
:12:22. > :12:23.it also makes the company, Tata Steel, much more attractive
:12:24. > :12:31.And with the German steel giant ThyssenKrupp waiting in the wings,
:12:32. > :12:34.there will be renewed concerns about future job losses and even
:12:35. > :12:40.closures at some UK steel plants, including Port Talbot.
:12:41. > :12:42.The German firm says it wants to consolidate
:12:43. > :12:44.European steel-making, but industry experts say Port Talbot
:12:45. > :12:51.I think the immediate future for workers in Port Talbot
:12:52. > :12:56.Port Talbot has restored its competitiveness.
:12:57. > :13:00.It's been helped by the exchange rate of the pound
:13:01. > :13:06.Port Talbot has been synonymous with steel-making for 70 years,
:13:07. > :13:09.and although only one fifth of the once 20,000 strong

:14:39. > :14:40.The President's critics say the election was rigged,

:14:53. > :14:54.Preliminary results had given their man an unassailable lead.

:15:26. > :15:29.The question now is how the opposition will react in defeat,

:15:40. > :15:46.Before the results were even released the opposition alliance
:15:47. > :15:47.had walked out, repeating allegations
:15:48. > :15:50.I think this has been an entire charade.
:15:51. > :15:54.They had run a parallel counting centre and claimed discrepancies.

:18:58. > :19:00.In fact, they thought this facility would provide them with the perfect

:19:06. > :19:10.And the complex itself can be locked up.
:19:11. > :19:15.They managed to keep this place a secret for three years.

:19:37. > :19:40.The Premier League is back, with Arsenal hosting Leicester City
:19:41. > :19:45.at the Emirates Stadium tonight, in a seven goal thriller.
:19:46. > :19:51.Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.
:19:52. > :19:57.It is back on Friday, an unprecedented start to the Premier
:19:58. > :20:02.League season, but for the fans, that familiar question, could this
:20:03. > :20:08.be their year? Amid the summer spending splurge, Arsenal splashed
:20:09. > :20:13.out 50 million this man, AlexLacazette, and it took 94
:20:14. > :20:22.seconds to show why. That is what you call making and impact. A dream
:20:23. > :20:27.start for him and the hosts -- Alexandre Lacazette. Leicester hit
:20:28. > :20:31.back. Shinji Okazaki with the equaliser as Arsenal's old frailties
:20:32. > :20:36.returned to haunt them. Soon the foxes were in front, Jamie Vardy
:20:37. > :20:42.lashing at home. On the stroke of half-time, Danny Welbeck levelled it
:20:43. > :20:48.up. Four goals in 45 minutes. Welcome back. In the second half
:20:49. > :20:54.Arsenal delivered, Vardy did not. 3-2, four Arsene Wenger the summer
:20:55. > :20:57.break a distant memory. But then the craziest of comebacks. Aaron
:20:58. > :21:02.Ramsey's flawless finish gave the Gunners hope. Moments later Olivier
:21:03. > :21:07.Giroud created an extraordinary turnaround. 4-3 to Arsenal. The rest
:21:08. > :21:13.of the season has some act to follow. Yes, as curtain raisers
:21:14. > :21:21.though, that was something pretty special. A chaotic clash. Arsenal
:21:22. > :21:25.fans for one night at least are on top of the Premier League table.
:21:26. > :21:28.Thank you. And the Swiss at the Emirates.
:21:29. > :21:30.With just two full days left of the World Athletics Championships

:21:36. > :21:37.It means Sir Mo Farah's gold is the sole medal
:21:38. > :21:42.As Natalie Pirks reports, UK Sport's target of between
:21:43. > :21:54.Instead, the enduring images of these championships
:21:55. > :22:00.from a British perspective, have been of tears and heartbreak.
:22:01. > :22:03.You are measured in medals and Mo may end up being our only gold
:22:04. > :22:06.medallist, maybe double gold medallist, but he is leaving
:22:07. > :22:12.Five years on from London, when you think about legacy,
:22:13. > :22:20.you'd have to say probably it's not great.
:22:21. > :22:26.A spin and heave. The Hammer does not look the most sophisticated of
:22:27. > :22:30.disciplines but Nick Miller is pretty good at it. His third throw
:22:31. > :22:35.took him briefly into silver medal contention. But his final throw went
:22:36. > :22:43.nowhere. That face of dejection all too familiar. And there was more
:22:44. > :22:47.disappointment to come. This long jump did not quite go to plan
:22:48. > :22:53.tonight. This was all she could manage. So that is that, another
:22:54. > :22:55.medal opportunity gone for Great Britain. It seems they cannot get
:22:56. > :23:02.the luck they need right now. Last night, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake
:23:03. > :23:08.was the latest Briton to come forth in his event,
:23:09. > :23:11.making up a club of the oh so close. Just inches separated
:23:12. > :23:16.the likes of Kyle Langford Nevertheless, it now means UK
:23:17. > :23:21.Sport's target of six to eight Especially with Greg
:23:22. > :23:23.Rutherford injured. It's very, very difficult
:23:24. > :23:25.to win medals in athletics Now, other sports, and especially
:23:26. > :23:31.with Olympic sports that win a lot of gold medals,
:23:32. > :23:34.it doesn't take anything away from their achievements,
:23:35. > :23:36.but there's not as many people or countries that participate,
:23:37. > :23:38.so this is arguably the hardest sport in the world to win
:23:39. > :23:52.major titles in. Dina Asher-Smith carried Jessica
:23:53. > :23:59.Ennis-Hill's it at the London Olympics. Tonight she carried the
:24:00. > :24:07.crowd's hopes. She broke her foot in February and only started running
:24:08. > :24:12.again in June. And Dina Asher-Smith four. Of course, it was for yet
:24:13. > :24:19.again, but this was quite an achievement. We have had loads of
:24:20. > :24:22.fourth that at same time, loads of those have been people who are so
:24:23. > :24:28.young with a decade in them. They may not have got a medal today but
:24:29. > :24:34.they will be the ones to watch in championships to come. Experiences
:24:35. > :24:37.like this will eventually bring the reward she deserves.
:24:38. > :24:43.Our sports editor Dan Roan is at the stadium for us tonight.
:24:44. > :24:52.Close but no cigars. That is right. I think it inevitable but when a
:24:53. > :24:57.body like UK athletics is in receipt of public money from UK sport and
:24:58. > :25:00.yet only has one medal from eight days of home championships to show
:25:01. > :25:06.for it, there will be some kind of inquest. Having said that, British
:25:07. > :25:09.Athletics are putting a positive spin on this. There have been plenty
:25:10. > :25:14.of fourth place finishes and top eight finishes from some very
:25:15. > :25:18.promising athletes. And with the long-term target of the 2020 Tokyo
:25:19. > :25:23.Olympics that bodes well. And it could improve with the relay and so
:25:24. > :25:35.Mo Farah in the final days. There is a growing fear that success in
:25:36. > :25:38.recent games may have papered over some cracks when it comes to the
:25:39. > :25:40.coaching structure in the sport domestically, and an over defendants
:25:41. > :25:42.on the likes of Sir Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg
:25:43. > :25:45.Rutherford may be overexposed. There could be consequences of the funding
:25:46. > :25:48.cut if it stays like this. If it is tough now, it will only get tougher
:25:49. > :25:52.when the band Russian team are back. Indeed, thank you.
:25:53. > :25:54.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
